Independent ownership means the people making decisions about your pet's care are the same people you'll see at your next appointment. It means accountability to the community we serve, not to a corporate office in another state. And it means we have the freedom to do things differently: to be transparent about pricing, offer a variety of payment options, and stay focused on making veterinary medicine accessible to every pet owner who walks through our doors.
When you walk through our doors, you're working with a team that knows your name, remembers your pet's history, and has the flexibility to adjust when your situation calls for it. The person you see today will be here the next time you visit. We invest in getting to know you so you don't have to start over at every appointment.
That continuity is what sets locally owned businesses apart: we're not reading from a script. We're building a relationship.
Fifty Years in Fort Worth
1971
Dr. Morris graduated from Texas A&M's College of Veterinary Medicine in 1971 and has spent his entire career serving pets and families in the Fort Worth area. Over the decades, he's worked closely with local animal control on pet ownership issues, provided direct surgical and emergency support to area shelters, and contributed to conservation efforts protecting native Texas bluebirds.2002
We moved into our current building in 2002. What felt vast back then seems to shrink a little every year as we help more patients.2005
We've been AAHA-accredited since 2005, a standard only 10–15% of veterinary hospitals in the country meet. It's not required, but we believe it's essential. Accreditation is how we hold ourselves accountable to ourselves and the pets we serve.Present
As Fort Worth has grown, we’ve grown with it. We offer veterinary services in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Our multilingual team means more families in Fort Worth can access quality veterinary guidance in the language they're most comfortable with.We do our best work with clients who want to be active participants in their pet's care. If you're looking for a veterinary team that gives you clear information, answers your questions honestly, and respects your ability to make decisions, you'll feel at home here.
We see ourselves as advisors. Our job is to give you the best information available so you can make the choice that's right for your pet and your family. We won't pressure you, and we won't make you feel judged for the path you choose.
When it comes to paying for care, we offer multiple paths. For routine wellness, we have monthly payment plans that let you spread preventive care costs throughout the year. For unplanned expenses, we offer CareCredit and Scratchpay for those who qualify, and Varidi for pet owners who need a no-credit-check option with guaranteed approval.
Our goal is to remove barriers, not create them. We want every pet owner in Fort Worth to be able to access the care their pet needs.
Animal Hope takes on second-chance animals: companions with traumatic injuries, heartworm-positive dogs, and pets who need behavioral support or medical care before they're ready for adoption. Our veterinary team nurses these animals back to health and prepares them for forever homes.
We also work with local groups practicing TNR (trap, neuter, release) to help manage the population of homeless cats. When you bring your pet to us, your support means you're also helping pets who have nowhere else to go.
When you choose Animal Hospital Southwest, you're choosing a team that's been here for five decades and plans to be here for five more.
